Cause (Documented platform behavior): Share first checks the ingest-disabled flag, then the share-disabled flag, then requires Kilo account credentials; the share token comes from the Kilo backend. Ingest-disabled blocks share and unshare even when KILO_DISABLE_SHARE is unset.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Strings were extracted read-only with `strings` from the Bun-compiled @kilocode/cli-linux-x64 7.8.1 binary (never executed); logic inferred from embedded JS.
- Not reproduced in this session.
Other error fragments:
- Sharing is disabled (KILO_DISABLE_SHARE=1)
- Unable to share session: no Kilo credentials found. Run `kilo auth login`.
- server did not return a share token
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://registry.npmjs.org/@kilocode/cli-linux-x64/-/cli-linux-x64-7.8.1.tgz#package/bin/kilo (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Share/unshare functions throw 'Session ingest is disabled (KILO_DISABLE_SESSION_INGEST=1)' first, then 'Sharing is disabled (KILO_DISABLE_SHARE=1)', then 'Unable to share session: no Kilo credentials found. Run `kilo auth login`.'; env flags accept 'true' or '1'.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Share/unshare commands throw instead of returning an app.kilo.ai/s/<token> URL.
- Context
- Product: Kilo Code CLI Component: session sharing / ingest Operation: Sharing or unsharing a Kilo session (/share, /unshare) in CI, containers, or orgs that set privacy env vars Affected versions: @kilocode/cli 7.8.1 (inspected) Environment: unknown Packages: @kilocode/cli 7.8.1 (inspected, linux-x64 binary) Trigger: KILO_DISABLE_SESSION_INGEST or KILO_DISABLE_SHARE set to 1/true in the environment (often inherited from dotfiles, CI or an org image), or no Kilo account credentials (only a BYO provider key configured).

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Kilo CLI] /share fails: 'Session ingest is disabled (KILO_DISABLE_SESSION_INGEST=1)' / 'Sharing is disabled (KILO_DISABLE_SHARE=1)' / 'Unable to share session: no Kilo credentials found
Recommended action: Unset KILO_DISABLE_SESSION_INGEST/KILO_DISABLE_SHARE if sharing is intended, and run `kilo auth login` with a Kilo account; provider API keys alone do not enable sharing.
Option: Unset KILO_DISABLE_SESSION_INGEST/KILO_DISABLE_SHARE if sharing is intended, and run `kilo auth login` with a Kilo account; provider API keys alone do not enable sharing. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Sharing or unsharing a Kilo session (/share, /unshare) in CI, containers, or orgs that set privacy env vars
Steps:
1. env | grep KILO_DISABLE
2. Unset the variable for this shell if policy allows.
3. kilo auth login
4. Retry /share.
Expected: The error no longer appears.
